Family and maternity policy developments in L'Aquila

Overview

In L'Aquila, local and national discussions have focused on expanding social and institutional support for families.

The Municipality of L'Aquila announced a program through its Department of Social Policies to provide financial and practical assistance to family caregivers. The initiative targets residents caring for relatives with severe disabilities, offering benefits for relief services, substitution care, or temporary respite stays based on the intensity of care required and the family’s economic status.

On a national level, Minister for Family, Natality and Equal Opportunities Eugenia Roccella participated in a conference in L'Aquila titled ‘Life, Naturally: Maternity in a Changing World’. The event addressed demographic decline and the challenges of motherhood. Roccella advocated for environments where maternity is not viewed as a ‘defect in a curriculum’, highlighting government measures such as parental leave at 80% of salary and increased nursery reimbursements to support work-life balance.
